geography
course
The ditch rises in the Haßfurt Main Valley at an altitude of about 340 m above sea level. NN a good half a kilometer west of the Greßhausen part of the municipality of Gädheim . Its intermittent source is located in an agricultural zone within the boundaries of the district of Waldsachsen, which belongs to the municipality of Schonungen, directly west of the municipality border between Schonungen and Gädheim.
It initially flows strongly straightened about 350 m westward through an agricultural zone, then enters a small deciduous forest south-south-east of the Bayernhof. It now changes its direction to the southwest and feeds a tiny forest lake west of an earth burial. He leaves the forest a good 200 m downstream and enters the open corridor. He is now running south-west through the fields of the Sandleite corridor . Its now wooded valley narrows noticeably. In Waldgewann Birket he is strengthened on his left by a forest brook. The ditch now crosses the border to Gädheim and runs southwards about 300 m east of Gädheim through a strip of forest.
It still crosses under the B 26 and flows strongly straightened westwards about half a kilometer north along the embankment of the Bamberg – Rottendorf line, then bends almost at right angles to the south-southwest, crosses under the tracks and finally flows south of Gädheim at an altitude of 208 m above sea level . NN from the right and north into a basin of the Main .
